Xpresso Weekly: Stacking the Shelves (2)

Xpresso Weekly is my edition of Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviewsfeaturing the books I got this week, and I also mention blog news/happenings of the past week.

So as you can see I decided to merge my Xpresso Weekly with Tynga’s Stacking the Shelves which you can find at Tynga’s Reviews. So if you’re looking for an alternative to IMM, head over to check them out!

This week at Xpresso Reads I had the Hemlock blog tour stop by – which is one of my top favorite reads of this year so make sure to check out my fabulous interview with Kathleen and my glowing review. I also had a few cover reveals, the first includes five wonderful covers posted here, the second and third: the Prodigy cover, the sequel to Legend, and the Fuse cover, sequel to Pure by Julianna Baggott, I posted on my Facebook page. There was also a new giveaway posted on Monday as part of the Spring Fling giveaway hop. Lastly, I forgot to mention it last week, but I was featured on Bewitched Bookworms’ My Reading Spot – you can find out where I read and stuff here and check out Danny’s lovely blog!

As for books, I had a pretty insane week.I got for review (Click on cover or title links for Goodreads):

Canadian blogger, wife, mother, coffee lover, and sarcastic at heart! She has had a love for all things bookish since before Amazon and eReaders existed *le gasp*. You can also find her organizing tours and other fun things at Xpresso Book Tours.

Giselle, this is utterly insane. I am so excited for you. I am most excited for the Laura Buzo and Eve and Adam but you will have SO much amazing reading coming up. I hope you have enough time for even half of them:) I have no idea how you accomplish so much!

Oh my goodness! That’s a lot of books! Eve & Adam, Girl of Nightmares & Meant to Be are on my TBR. Looking forward to your reviews! It looks like I’ve got some more books to check out from your haul. Happy Reading!

Holy! That is a week of insane. I’m really interested in that The Enemy, can’t wait to see what you think! Never Enough also looks really good and I like the cover for The Infects. Hope you enjoy them all!

Ohhh so many amazing books you received this week! I don’t even know where to begin! x) Eve and Adam sounds like amazing read – the cover is amazing! Can’t wait to read your review on it! Burn for Burn seems awesome too!

I’m currently reading Code Name Verity, and I like it, but I’m finding that I’m having to go super slow so I can fully soak it in. Not one that you can easily run through. I’d love to know what you think about it.

whoa looks like you had an amazing week. i am totally jealous of girl of nightmares. i loved anna and can’t wait to read the sequel. i really love the cover to mean to be, too. do you know who the cover artist is?

Eeeeek! You got a ton of amazing books this week! I am completely envious of your copies of Burn for Burn, The Unnaturalists, Eve and Adam and Girl of Nightmares! AND you got Outpost you lucky thing! I hope you enjoy them all and can tell me how fabulous they are. Happy reading!

Quite the haul this week Giselle, I haven’t actually heard of a lot of them. I am one of the few who hasn’t yet read Divergent so I can’ appreciate Insurgent yet lol. Hope you enjoy all your books, you’ll be busy Happy Reading!

OH MY O-O *dies* You did have an insane week!!!! If you ever feel overwhelmed you could always suffocate me! LOL!!

Wow, I think I missed your Hemlock review *checking it now* And I did see your feature at Bewitched Bookworms’ My Reading Spot last week, your son is a doll! Cutie! And how can you “NOT”(sarcastic tone) love Elmo??? Thank goodness my 4 yr. old is sooo over Elmo! This week he’s into Stuart Little, I swear I’ve watched it 3000 times–*Gouges eyes* Oh, I’m bald, BTW!!! Baaaahhhaaaa

Wow, awesome haul this week! Never Enough is so so so good, you have to read it soon!! I requested Meant to Be and Love and Other Perishable Items on NG, too, but they haven’t responded yet… And of course, INSURGENT!!! :p Hope you love all your books

This is JUST ANOTHER REMINDER of how horrible a reader I am for letting Enclave slip to the backburner. Before you know it the whole series will be done, and I’ll be the only who HASN’T read it. Silly me. Everybody seems to LOVE Code Name Verity and I can’t wait to start my copy. I’m so disappointed in the change of the Fury series covers, darn it. The first was AMAZEBALLS.

Girl of Nightmares! You’ll have to let me know if that one’s as good as the first one. And I’m going to plan on reading a few of Rhiannon Frater’s books because of your glowing reviews. I’m looking forward to devouring my reading pile. Great haul and good luck catching up!

You got SOO many books! I’m so jealous. I loved Insurgent, by the way, and I bet you’ll love it to! I haven’t heard of the other books, but they all sound so extremely good and I can’t wait to see them for myself.

OMG!!! GIRL OF NIGHTMARES!! I am super envious of you. I am DYING to read that book!! What a super great haul this week. Meant to Be sounds really good I loved Insurgent. I got the Infects from NetGalley and it looks good. Wake is also a book I am looking forward to.

Look at all these lovelies! I cannot wait to get Meant To Be and Wake, those are high up on my list! Am I the only person who did not get Insurgent, lol! I haven’t read Divergent yet (eeek, sorry!) Maybe some day Enjoy your newbies, Giselle!

Love all the books you go this week! So awesome I really want to read Meant to Be and Girl of Nightmares. I still need to buy my copy of Insurgent. Also, I got Code Name Verity too and I loved the Enemy! I hope you enjoy all these books. They look great and I’ll be adding them to my list too

Envy and Surrender look fabulous!!! Great haul! This looks like a lot of fun! Insurgent sounds fabulous too. Looks like you have got a lot of reading to do. And wow I love your new blog layout…you have really outdone yourself! Wonderful books Enjoy!

I’m so jealous that you got a physical copy of Code Name Verity. I have a kindle copy and I can’t wait to read it =) I also can’t wait to read Wake and Insurgent! I hope you enjoy everything you got this week. Here’s my IMM!

i want meant to be. i love that cover! and adam and eve looks cool too!! and lucky for girl of nightmares! i need to read the first book also, and i hear its great! and yea for insurgent!! great haul!!!Tara’s Haul

Hi there Giselle, thought of dropping by. You do have an insane week here. Lots of great books. I am a Marcus Sedgwick fan so I’m glad to see his book here. Is this his newest release? insurgent looks so good too. Is it an e-copy or a physical book?

The Reviewers

Giselle

Giselle is a wife and mother who lives on books and coffee - what else is there?
She's known to be sarcastic and rarely serious. She loves reading books, blogging
about books, chatting about books, and smelling books. Although YA is her current
favorite she has a wide variety of genres that she enjoys. She likes her characters
bad-ass, her plots full of action and her fair share of gore - though she will
indulge in a chick-lit here and there. In short, she'll read anything. She's
also the mind behind Xpresso Book Tours.

Amy

Hi! I'm Amy! I'm no good at this, but I'm a mom of one little girl
who really thinks she is a princess. I love reading all sorts of
books (horror being a favorite genre of mine), love meeting new
people, drinking lots of coffee, and eating chocolate. If you want
to know anything else about me, just ask.

Faye

A 21 years old Filipina who loves books, games, languages, and most
especially, food. Secretly wishes to be an astronaut so she can
explore the stars. Has a love-hate relationship with Philippine
politics. To get into her good graces, offer her foie gras, or tempura
shrimp. A JRPG game works, too.
